Research direction

Read the parent issue #6085, then locate the existing attribute clash handling and the normal-saving and mesh-saving paths. Determine how the handling can be made generic and callable from both paths; done means both saving modes use the shared function(s) without changing their intended clash behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Refactor 'clash handling' to a generic function(s), which can therefore be called during normal saving and also during mesh saving
